Sounds like Pete Carroll was in rare form — wasting no time in getting straight to it, starting with: “As we look at this week coming up, it’s the halfway point of the season. Game six, with a bye to follow, it’s a chance to finish off the first half and that’s how we’re going…

Another squeaker. But another victory as the Trojans roll Washington and Patrick Turner catches a career-high 12 passes for a buck sixteen.
